This restaurant initially impressed us with its Mysore Masala Dosa and Bombay Thali. The dosa was delicious, with just the right amount of spice, and the ambiance was cozy with attentive staff. However, while the Bombay Thali was decent, it didn’t fully meet expectations, feeling a bit lacking in flavor variety.On our first visit, we found the experience excellent, but during the second visit, we noticed a slight drop in taste quality. Overall, it’s still a good spot for dosas with a welcoming atmosphere, though consistency in flavors could elevate it further.
